Here’s a strange scenario.

A category has a defined allowed tag group.  
When you create a new topic within this category and create a new tag, this tag is unassigned to any group. This is a contradiction, because an unassigned tag isn’t allowed in our category.  
Shouldn’t a new tag be assigned to an allowed group by default?

Sounds like a bit of a catch-22, what do you think @neil?

I didn’t think you could create a new tag in that case. Could be a regression.

</div>

if creating a tag were not allowed, how would you add a new tag to a group?  
Currently there’s no way to add new tags in the tag manager.

I fixed the two issues you found. You can create new tags in the tag groups ([as shown here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tags-category-restrictions-tag-groups-relationships/48260)) and you can’t create new tags in a category that only allows tags from a group.

thanks @neil, this will be a great help, especially for pre-populating tag groups.  
In Beta 5?
